Subscription synchronization is automated and scheduled by the system, but you can initiate on-demand synchronization.
Use this task if you do not see your new subscriptions and licenses on the Subscriptions & Licensing page. You can synchronize subscriptions only once every 5 minutes.

Important
Do not use Synchronize Subscriptions just to refresh the information in the management application.A 5-minute timer begins. After the timer expires, you can synchronize your subscriptions again, if required.
